Alexandre da Cunha: Mix II 

Rochaverá Corporate Towers

Mix II is Alexandre da Cunha’s first large scale public commission in Sao Paulo. Made using the drum of a concrete mixer truck and cast concrete - objects traditionally used in the production of public buildings - they now become objects to be looked at for their own form. These materials are especially significant in Brazil and to Da Cunha where concrete has played such a significant role both in art and architecture. 

Da Cunha has described his practice not as ‘making’ but as ‘pointing’. Pointing at existing objects in our everyday surroundings, and highlighting or revealing new and unexpected facets or meanings within them.

Thomas Dane Gallery at Art Basel

Booth: P13

Private view: June 14

Vernissage: June 15

Public days: June 16-19

Further information

For our booth at Art Basel 2016 Thomas Dane gallery will present an exhibition of works exclusively in one medium: paper. Paper has played a central role in artistic investigations throughout history. Due to its versatility paper has become key to many artists’ practices and often provides the space for the most pivotal investigations and has become steeped in the richest historical associations. For this exhibition we have approached many of our artists that often work on paper to produce new, large-scale works specifically for the fair. We will include major pieces from Hurvin Anderson, Cecily Brown, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Michael Landy, Glenn Ligon and Amy Sillman.

We will celebrate our artists for whom working on paper in innovative ways has long been a central trope in their practice and bring together major new works by Arturo Herrera and Abraham Cruzvillegas as well as works literally made 'of' paper by artists less well known for working in this medium: Lynda Benglis, Walead Beshty and Kelley Walker.

We will also include a limited and carefully edited number of works that have informed or influenced our artists who have informed or influenced our gallery artists or whom have partaken in our programme: Bruce Conner, Barbara Rossi and Albert Oehlen.
